Hello

A patron came in wanting the poem that has the line
"This is the face of a crone" or "This is the face of
the crone" or something similar. I found one on the
Interned called "Reflections" but that is not the one
she is looking for.

I have tried the Internet, Grangers Index to Poetry,
Index of Last Lines, and The World's Best Poetry. Can
anyone out there identify this?

Thank you.

Browning's Flight of the Duchess has these lines:

The lady sat between her knees
And o'er them the lady's clasped hands met,
And on those hands her chin was set,
And her upturned face met the face of the crone
Wherein the eyes had grown and grown
As if she could double and quadruple
At pleasure the play of either pupil

If your library has a link to the Insipre network you should try there. If not, you can
follow the link from our library's website at www.bedlib.org. Choose Inspire, Search the
Inspire Database, LitFinder, and then Poem Finder. Search for the exact phrase "This is
the face of a crone" and hit go. I found several resulting hits, but without having
spoken to your patron, I'm not sure if they are dead on. Good luck!
